    Vemos a una Gaga, que da un giro de 180° en su carrera, Joanne es lo mas opuesto a Artpop, aunque este giro era un poco predecible tras CTC. Nos muestra su lado mas intimo, el de su familia como de una u otra manera estos la influenciaron en su vida, la muerte de su tía joanne, quien le da el nombre al álbum, el cual aborda mas temas, desde la masturbación femenina, la lucha por el cáncerVemos a una Gaga, que da un giro de 180° en su carrera, Joanne es lo mas opuesto a Artpop, aunque este giro era un poco predecible tras CTC. Nos muestra su lado mas intimo, el de su familia como de una u otra manera estos la influenciaron en su vida, la muerte de su tía joanne, quien le da el nombre al álbum, el cual aborda mas temas, desde la masturbación femenina, la lucha por el cáncer de una de sus mas fieles amigas Sonja, quien posteriormente fallecería, abusos policíacos, el amor, la ganas de comerse el mundo. A nivel se sonidos tenemos un albur mas orgánico, con claras influencias pop, rock y country principalmente. Las mejores canciones son sin lugar a duda. Million Reasons, Perfect Illusion, Angel Down, Joanne y dancin' in circles. Expand

    Best **** album of the year GAGA QUEEN, algo nunca visto en Gaga y que se agradece una retrospectiva a su carrera a todo lo que ha tenido que pasar. Muy infravalorado porque las maricas solo quieren perrear en las discos y pàsan de llorar.

    The Monster didn't make me fall in love with Gaga, Born This Way didn't make me fall in love with Gaga, ARTPOP didn't make me fall in love with Gaga. But Joanne did. It's the album that lets me know about real Gaga. And I just love the way she is without those high heels and makeup and fancy dresses. Just the girl with a cowboy hat and a guitar

    The best thing about her fifth LP is that it has that raw feeling; a feeling of real-ness. It's not just about romance and fame any more; it's true to the heart. "Joanne" is a truly inspiring album to those who decide to listen. Nothing on this album is repetitive nor cheesy. It's just Lady Gaga writing motivational music about healing, dedicated to her father & her late aunt, Joanne Stefani Germanotta.

    I recommend watching "Gaga: Five Foot Two", which is available on Netflix, as a companion to listening to "Joanne".

    HIGHLIGHTS: "Diamond Heart", "John Wayne", "Million Reasons", "Perfect Illusion", "Grigio Girls"

    Joanne still represents a striking course correction for Lady Gaga. By abandoning the dance club for the dive bar, she may have tossed aside her status as a pop star once and for all. But Gaga has emerged as something better and truer.

    Lady Gaga may not be more Gaga as she used to, however, Joanne shows us a more intimate and honest side of the pop artist that redefined pop during the end of the 00's decade. Joanne is honest but confusing at the same time. It takes more than a listen to understand it.
  80. May 2, 2018

    Not her best work, but a step up from Artpop (which I still enjoyed but was not floored by). There's a lot to love on Joanne, and this is perhaps Lady Gaga's most emotionally-resonant effort to date. I'd recommend "Diamond Heart," "AYO," "Joanne," "Million Reasons," "Sinner's Prayer," and--if you're going for the deluxe edition--"Just Another Day."

    The album is a grower. It's not that it's bad at first listen, it's just different from Gaga's previous albums. It's definitely a well produced album. It has great songs. Some that will probably become timeless, and that's what it's all about.

    Really cohesive album. Something that works when listened as an entire album, with all songs together. It's very hard to agree on favourites with friends because it changes day to day. The songs seem to grow differently each time you hear them. Really powerful album, couldn't recommend more! This seems to be Gaga like we have never seen. Don't base this album off what you think you know about her!

    Gaga's most concise record which she has ever made (However I'm a huge fan of ARTPOP). You can tell she was going to the rough rock, country, stripped down music. It pays off with highlights like Dancin' in Circles, Perfect Illusion, John Wayne and Come to Mama. It's nice to see that she isn't doing what everyone else is doing. Change is good for artists.

    There's a distinct separation in the album. Tracks 1-6 (except Joanne, Track 3) seem to be very pop / rock, where as Tracks 7-11 seem more ballad-like, very soft, but the lyrics seem to become much more meaning, which has always been a strong forte for Lady Gaga. The main strength of this album is the production, which Mark Ronson, Bloodpop seem to have put a lot of effort into. PerfectThere's a distinct separation in the album.

    The moment you hear the first song you suddenly say, "Wait is this Lady Gaga?" Though you feel like the songs you're listening to doesn't feel too Gaga, it's still her. More matured than ever and after having a joint album with Tony Bennett, she has learn so much. Being an artist to a musician.

    This album, Joanne, is not a 'comeback' album. OKAY. JOANNE is an album that speaks about life and all its highs and lows. An album that cuts deep when listening to it because it speaks the truth. It is her best album to date and one of the best albums released this year!

    Definitivamente não é um álbum perfeito. Porém, Lady Gaga finalmente lança um álbum com o qual é possível enxergar sua alma. Baladas de arrepiar, músicas dançantes com profundidade em suas letras e a potência vocal dela sendo muito bem utilizada em todas as faixas. Estou feliz com o que ouvi e sentindo que o investimento nele foi válido.

    This is simply her most personal album yet. To me, it feels very natural and organic and it really carries a weight with it that draws a listener so close. Her vocal performances sound traditional and are impressive. The ballads are heartfelt and truly the best she has ever recorded.

Even though the dance pop takes on the album might not live up to the amazing line up, Born This Way, The Fame or even Artpop had, they fit in perfectly with what the album is trying to communicate. I love this album and It sounds very clean, sonically innovating and really singles out Lady Gaga as an artist in her own league. Expand

    The promising group of collaborators of the album -including Beck, Josh Homme, Florence Welch, Mark Ronson, Bloodpop, etc...- failed to create a commercial album but personally I think that's the point. They didn't want to make a cheesy pop album like everything released this year, they pushed the limit and mixed all kind of genres to create the most american sound ever.

    Flawed though it is, this brave and canny album hits the reset button and buys her a future. [Jan 2017, p.105]

    Unfortunately, therein lies the biggest problem with Joanne: for every time that Gaga seemingly breaks free of her shackles and embraces something more “real,” she quickly scuttles back into her comfort zone and hides behind glistening production. This probably isn’t quite the sound of the real Stefani Germanotta, but if you squint hard enough there’s a semblance of a real person in amongst the pop haze.

    Joanne is certainly not the all-conquering opus it was intended to be and will prove divisive, but it remains a daring and exciting record, delivered from one of modern pop’s most unique and singular voices.
